That sign was kind of funny.
This game just hasn't felt like the Pistons had a chance since the 1st Q.
Shaq will make both. Watch, Fool.
Whatever.
Keep that fuck Hill AWAY FROM OUR TRAINER!
See what a difference having a PG makes?
From the dude who wanted us to stockpile SGs.
Denver and Miami are the only teams with better than .500 record we beat this year...
would us winning have changed anything with the amare rumors as in amare and the suns pushing harder for a trade? i mean the rumors started to heat up when they lost to the warriors a week ago.
Is this a joke I don't get?Quote:

The night before, we had to go to OT to beat a team that should've been taken care of by the 4th quarter. This would've given our starters some rest and our deep bench some quality minutes, so they perhaps wouldn't come out cold and smelling of dogshit in the following game when they were needed.
I got a phone call during the 2nd quarter and missed most of it. I could see we weren't controlling the tempo at the get-go, though. Ugh.
We need some defense. C'mon Joe D, fix this mini guard mess you've put together and ban Kwame Brown from ever wearing a Pistons uniform again.

Sorry. Thinking seasonal year, not calendar.
Yeah, that was Asberry's fault. You gotta specify you are going outside the norm there.
Although that post doesn't really deserve more than a "LOL", I'll help you out a bit.Quote:

You're being silly.
I understood what Asberry was talking about -- this calendar year vs. this season. I just got pissed and decided to rant about how our team sucked in this game instead. And I didn't even get started on Kwame fucking Brown...
Yeah, totally different. We were all terrified that Rip was going to jump ship. He was soooooooo close to leaving.Quote:

This offense is so terrible. You can see they are all pretty much clueless out there all night. It seems like everything is a broken play.

Of course he does, right? HE'D NEVER LEAVE US, HE LOVES US
If he didn't, we'd just package him with a big anyway.
Exactly what my point was back then, he might have to be traded so we didn't lose him for nothing.Quote:

You were terrified of nothing.
Yeah, I think I said exactly that "GET ANY SG AVAILABLE".Quote:

"Terrfied", lol.
I can haz overdramatization.
You made like half a dozen trade proposals and every SG that was mentioned you said to go after.
That was WHILE you were calling Stuckey a SG. It made zero sense.
Based on the assumption that they were going to play him at PG.
It doesn't matter if I think he's a SG or not if they won't play him there.
I don't have that kind of influence.
And that "half dozen trade proposals" sounds like a bit much, too.
Every SG?
And most (all?) of any Rip trade proposal that I suggested included something like "IF Joe thinks that he might leave, he needs to consider...", IIRC.
Let's try to keep some semblance of intellectual honesty here.
So what does all this have to do with last night's game anyway?
We don't have a PG and it was evident last night.
As it has been for weeks.
You adding that statement in doesn't change the fact that you were the chief champion of that little fear drive.Quote:

I'm not seeing your point.
Is it that I was contemplating losing Rip for nothing?
Because that is what it should be, without the famous "Fool filter".
And you tried that little trick of comparing "someone dying" as an equivalent to "a free agent leaving his team" before, and it was as weak then as it is now.
It's hard to say we don't have a PG when we don't have any clue on offense.Quote:

So did Terry Porter's coaching help Nash get those 21 assists?
If Curry was coaching them everyone would be standing around clueless. There wouldn't have been any pick and rolls with Nash and Amare because Curry is clueless.
Did Porter make Nash a good PG? No, but coaching did help him earlier in his career. What kind of good coaching has Stuckey had in the NBA?
Which is another reason that we need a quality PG capable of running (and initiating/creating, if necessary) an efficient half court offense.Quote:
